    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    Game » consists of 30 releases. Released Nov 11, 2011

    The fifth installment in Bethesda's Elder Scrolls franchise is set in the eponymous province of Skyrim, where the ancient threat of dragons, led by the sinister Alduin, is rising again to threaten all mortal races. Only the player, as the prophesied hero the Dovahkiin, can save the world from destruction.

    Should there be a Game Developers Standards Board?

    You should really be pissed at Sony for letting them release the game in that state. But they probably wanted to be competitive with Microsoft.

    I don't think you can squarely place the blame on any one entity in this situation. It seems like it's the industry at large that's at fault for creating an environment where a publisher must ship their AAA title within a certain fiscal window on as many platforms as possible to stay competitive, bugs be damned. Something's going to snap eventually, and it's not going to be pretty.

    Your right. Perhaps what we need is a "Gamers Union" or lobby who can be independent of reviewers and developers.

    I'm pretty sure i could blame Bethesda/Zenimax for releasing it too soon, even if it is due to fiscal stuff. Especially with a game like Skyrim where there's really not much in the way of competition.
